VideoRAE enhances generative video models using frozen foundation features

Researchers have introduced VideoRAE, a novel representation autoencoder designed to enhance generative video modeling. Unlike traditional methods that focus on pixel-level reconstruction, VideoRAE leverages multi-scale hierarchical features from frozen video foundation models like V-JEPA 2 and VideoMAEv2. This approach allows for the creation of compact, generation-friendly latent spaces that support both continuous latents for Diffusion Transformers and discrete tokens for autoregressive models. Experiments demonstrate that VideoRAE achieves state-of-the-art reconstruction quality and converges significantly faster than existing autoencoder baselines, showing promise for more efficient and effective text-to-video generation.

    VideoRAE: Taming Video Foundation Models for Generative Modeling via Representation Autoencoders

    Video generative models commonly rely on latent spaces learned by 3D Variational Autoencoders (3D-VAEs). However, conventional 3D-VAEs are mainly optimized for pixel-level reconstruction, which can limit the semantic and spatio-temporal structure captured by their latents. Meanwh…
